AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2) Lets You Play With 28% Less Latency

AMD has officially introduced the next evolution of its frame generation technology: AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2). This latest version delivers a major leap in gaming performance, including up to 28% lower latency, improved image quality, and enhanced gameplay smoothness.

Enhanced Performance and Reduced Latency

At the heart of AFMF 2's improvements is its ability to significantly reduce input latency while maintaining high visual fidelity. During internal testing, AMD reported an average latency reduction of up to 28% compared to the original AFMF. Notably, in Cyberpunk 2077 running at 4K Ultra Ray Tracing settings with an RX 7900 XTX, the benefits of AFMF 2 were especially pronounced—offering smoother visuals with substantially reduced lag.

AMD encourages players to experience this firsthand, highlighting that "AFMF 2 can deliver on average 28% lower latency at 4K using the Ray Tracing: Ultra graphics preset when compared to AFMF 1."

AI-Powered Image Quality and Smoothness

AFMF 2 leverages advanced AI algorithms to refine image quality and motion interpolation, enhancing both visual clarity and responsiveness. According to AMD, early feedback from a select group of gamers was overwhelmingly positive, with an average score of 9.3/10 for image quality and smoothness.

These enhancements make AFMF 2 a substantial upgrade over its predecessor. As AMD put it: “All this adds up to a substantial improvement over AFMF 1.”

Expanded Compatibility and Customization

Beyond performance, AFMF 2 offers broader compatibility and more flexible settings:

• Supports borderless fullscreen modes on AMD Radeon RX 7000 and Radeon 700M series GPUs.
• Works with games utilizing Vulkan and OpenGL APIs, improving animation fluidity.
• Fully compatible with AMD Radeon Chill, enabling users to apply a driver-controlled FPS cap while still benefiting from frame interpolation.

To accelerate development and gather real-world insights, AMD has released AFMF 2 as a technical preview, inviting gamers to test the technology and provide feedback to help shape its final form.

For gamers seeking higher frame rates, lower latency, and smoother gameplay, AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 represents a compelling step forward. Stay tuned for further updates as AMD continues to refine this powerful frame generation solution.
